Well, DMV strikes again....An officer from my local PD comes over, signs the document, adds the current mileage, his badge number etc.

Me, all happy, square away my day and run over to DMV happy as a pig in crapola, right......WRONG!

OK so the document verifying the mileage/vin # is fine, but they now ware curious that the title itself has no listed mileage on it whatsoever. After a big powwow with the clerk and supervisor I'm told, "You can't tile this vehicle until you get a statement from California DMV with previously listed mileage."

I ask, Just how am I supposed to do that? Blank looks and crickets is what I get.

Being short on time (Yes I do work), I leave to fight another day, I'll go to a different DMV and hopefully get a better result, fingers crossed. I know this will work out, it's just a matter of time and frustration.

Is there a place on the Title to actually put the mileage? On New Jersey Titles the seller has a spot to put the mileage. If so, just fill lin the mileage. Otherwise you might have to go back to the fiduciary and ask him to fill out some kind of California mileage verification form. Maybe some calls to Trenton or California may help. Seems like they are going out of their way to make it hard for you on a 30 year old car that the mileage doesn't really matter that much anymore. Maybe they think it rolled over? Perhaps a Carfax report can help.

I really think I'm just getting the bad luck of the draw at the teller window. The teller/clerk next to the one I had rolled her eyes when I was being wreaked over the coals as if to say, "That's BS, just give the man his new title and move it along."

I'll go to Bergen Co. on Monday if time permits and see what gives there, if not I'll try once again, with hopefully a new clerk.

Must be something about where I've lived, but in all of the years I've owned my car (in three different states), on the title they've simply put "EXEMPT" under "odometer" because once a car is over a certain age they simply don't care. As a result, I've had no trouble registering it. In Florida I did have to get a "VIN check," which was a first (Louisiana and New York didn't care).

Good luck.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure mine says this too, I will confirm when I'm home and can look at the title
